You can find pointless games in the strangest places, like, for example, this rather remarkable compilation of Party games.

Here, for example, is Caterpillar

Best played outdoors, but can be played in a large hall with obstacles set up.

Several people are blindfolded, form a chain by putting hands on shoulders of player in front of them. The last player in the chain is not blindfolded, and must guide everyone by giving directions "right", "left", "forward", "back".

Have them go around an obstacle course, up and down hills, around trees, and so forth. You can also have caterpillar races, with two or more teams.

I've played something similar, only with partners. The caterpillar variation provides a rather delicious opportunity for spiraling chaos.

The Party Directory, wherein the Party Games collection can be found, is an admirably deep resource - especially for baby showers and, oddly enough, relay races. I haven't figured out the connection, yet, but I have several fascinating conjectures.
